With a packed news cycle, Josh opens the show with the latest developments involving Iran, as the military blockade of the Strait of Hormuz enters its second day. Josh breaks down where things stand with the ongoing peace talks and the many moving pieces shaping the situation.

Josh is then joined by Lee Smith, writer for Tablet Magazine and author of The China Matrix, to discuss Iran and what it will take to know when the job there is truly complete. Smith also offers insight into how Iran’s military is responding to the war.

Later, Josh reacts to a bombshell report from the Department of Justice regarding biased enforcement of the FACE Act by the Biden administration against pro-life activists. Josh explains why the revelations matter and how conservatives should respond.

Josh also dives into the latest political fallout after Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell resigned following sexual assault allegations that surfaced over the weekend—and why the sudden return of #MeToo-style scrutiny in this case caught many observers by surprise.

On today’s show, Josh breaks down the ceasefire deal announced earlier this week and where things stand now.

Josh is then joined by "Breaking History" podcast host Eli Lake to help make sense of the latest developments in Iran and what they could signal moving forward. Later in the show, Josh reacts to comments from the head of NATO that seem to echo the president’s criticism that NATO allies are not pulling their weight. Josh also discusses the Dignity Act, recently introduced on Capitol Hill, which would grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, and explains why he believes the MAGA base will strongly oppose it.
